Eternal Night

Chapter 702 Celestial Phenomenon Level! ?

Braving the winds and waves...

Wu Pifu has discovered a rare source of enjoyment besides games.

Sailing is actually quite fun!
This also seems to apply to Amadeus.

Of course, neither of them were sailing enthusiasts, and after playing for a while, they both rested.

In this world, ocean navigation relies entirely on ocean currents; sails and the like can only increase speed and allow for small turns.

Before they figured out the rules of navigation in this world, the Dog Egg could only drift on its own. After trying to control it for a while, Amadeus and Xu Shilan simply gave up and lay down on the deck with Wu Pifu to watch the sunset.

"...let it drift on its own for one night."

Xu Shilan said, "If you're still circling around here tomorrow, you can go dig a tunnel under the sea to move around."

Wu Pifu agreed. He was lying on the deck in the sunset, feeling warm and cozy. The sea breeze was blowing, making him feel incredibly comfortable. With his companions by his side, he felt at peace and became somewhat lazy, drifting into a half-awake, half-dreaming state.

so good……

Listening to the sound of the waves, Xu Shilan and Amadeus slowly drifted off to sleep, and even the small animals were dozing off.

As dusk approached and the last rays of the setting sun dipped below the horizon, Wu Pifu suddenly opened his eyes. Before he could even bend over, he floated up smoothly, instantly reaching a hundred meters away. He was already at the edge of the same ocean current. Then, he stretched out his hand to block, and at the same time, a metal sphere struck the side of his palm at at least five times the speed of sound. Then, under a vast and gentle force, it deflected and shot into the distant sea.

With a deafening bang, the metal sphere exploded with the force of a thermobaric bomb, flames erupting from the seawater and soaring hundreds of meters into the air, creating a small mushroom cloud. The resulting waves were over ten meters high, all rushing towards the Dog Egg.

Although Amadeus was not as alert as Wu Pifu, he immediately rolled over and stood up the moment the shell exploded. At the same time, his skin immediately turned metallic, and he shielded Xu Shilan and the small animals behind him.

Two seconds later, Xu Shilan rolled over and got up. A shadow crawled and spread beneath her until she saw the mushroom cloud in the distance and the waves that were more than ten meters high crashing in. Her pupils suddenly contracted.

But before the wave, several times higher than the wooden boat, could even arrive, Wu Pifu flashed back to the top of the boat. He raised his hand and pressed down, and the wave exploded into spray as if it had hit an invisible wall of air. The flames and shockwaves were also forced apart, and the Gou Dan didn't even lurch.

Xu Shilan and Amadei immediately looked around and sure enough, they saw several ships in the distance. They all looked like wooden ships with sails, but the power of that cannonball was wrong; it was comparable to a missile.

Amadeus shouted loudly at the ants above her head, "Were these ships the ones that just fired missiles at us?"

Wu Pifu said doubtfully, "No, it's an old-fashioned exploding shell, but the power is wrong... and it doesn't seem to have been fired by these ships."

The three men saw the ships and also saw their information.

"Tier V battleship, ???, ???, ???"

"Tier III destroyer, ???, ???, ???"

"Level three..."

"Level 2..."

The three of them could only see the class and type of the ships in the information box; everything else, including their names, was just a series of question marks.

However, this also confirms that the ships in front of us are indeed native vessels of this world. The largest ship is at the fifth level. Although it is a sailing wooden ship, its size and the armed cannons on it show that this world is civilized and not some barbaric world.

Xu Shilan shouted to Wu Pifu above the Gou Dan, "What do we do now? Should we make contact with these ships first?"

Wu Pifu paused for a moment and then said, "Let's sink the one that fired at us first."

As soon as they finished speaking, the three of them saw a burst of fire on the distant sea. A pitch-black ship, mostly submerged, revealed its cannons and fired a cannonball at the native fleet.

The shell created a shockwave, and its flight speed was at least five times the speed of sound. In just a flash of fire, a Tier III destroyer was blown to pieces, and then the shell continued to fly straight towards the direction of the Dog Egg.

Because they were still far away, Xu Shilan and Amadei both saw the shell, and then their expressions changed.

This was a chain-linked cannonball, launched at several times the speed of sound while spinning. The cannonball itself was linked with a chain, which was incredible, and its power was immense. If it were to hit the Gou Dan, the small wooden boat would instantly shatter into pieces, and everyone on board would be reduced to a bloody mist. Then Wu Pifu moved, taking a single step forward to reach the chain-linked cannonball. He caught it, and the incredibly heavy cannonball emitted a teeth-grinding squeak as it came to a stop, held firmly in Wu Pifu's palm.

This scene was naturally witnessed by the crew of the fleeing ships. They fell silent for a moment, then shouted for help to Wu Pifu in unison, and all the ships accelerated towards the Gou Dan.

Before Wu Pifu could respond or make any move, a dark metal box was suddenly thrown over from the Tier 5 battleship.

The person who threw the box was a tall, burly man wearing a navy cloak, easily over two and a half meters tall. He threw a metal box the size of a basketball with a sharp sound that broke the sound barrier, and it flew straight towards Wu Pifu.

"Sir, grab the things and hurry! The legendary ship Sea Ghost is chasing us!!"

The sound echoed across the battlefield, and Wu Pifu frowned as he accepted the box. Before he could react, the submarine-like underwater ship in the distance also made a sound.

"Very well, as expected of the Saint Elsa Empire, you've even opened up a sea route to this remote, uninhabited area? Want to leave? No one will escape the Sea Ghost's pursuit today!!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a powerful force erupted from the Sea Ghost. One by one, the crew members of the remaining fleet collapsed to the ground, their eyes rolling back and foaming at the mouth. At the same time, the thick clouds in the sky above this sea area tore open, the waves on the sea surged violently, and tiny electric currents flashed around the Sea Ghost.

Wu Pifu silently looked at the Sea Ghost, then tossed the metal box onto the Dog Egg without a word. The next second, he held the Death-Seeking Blade in his hand.

Just then, a burly man with pale hair appeared at the very top of the Sea Ghost. He seemed to be standing on a sponge, carrying a trident that was at least five meters long. Although the man was about three meters tall, the trident still looked enormous, but that did not prevent him from using it with both hands.

Wu Pifu looked at the burly man with pale hair, and the man was also sizing up Wu Pifu.

At this moment, the battleship and two other ships passed the Dog Egg and hurriedly headed towards the sea behind it, while the pale-haired strong man seemed to have all his attention focused on Wu Pifu and the Dog Egg beneath his feet.

"...General, are you sure you want to use this third-class ship to confront me, the Sea King?" The pale-haired burly man suddenly laughed.

Wu Pifu naturally did not respond. The next second, the pale-haired strong man roared, tearing apart the clouds in the sky. Then Wu Pifu saw a thick layer of metallic black condense on the pale-haired strong man's arm, even staining the trident black. Then, the surrounding fine lightning was also mixed into the trident. The next second, the pale-haired strong man traversed a distance of ten thousand meters and thrust the trident straight at Wu Pifu.

"In front of me!"

"Your Majesty!"

Wu Pifu also roared and slashed down with his death-defying greatsword. The blade was also covered with Armament Haki, which had a dark metallic color, but he did not use Conqueror's Haki.

Blade against halberd tip.

The burly man with pale hair had a ferocious and mocking expression on his face, and he said, "Make me... kneel down?"

But the moment they made contact, his remaining words vanished. With a single strike, blood gushed from both arms, and even his thick Armament Haki exploded. Only Conqueror's Haki remained, barely clinging to him. Even so, the trident in his hand began to crumble inch by inch.

With just one strike, the pale-haired, burly man was covered in blood and was cleaved back into the sea. He tumbled and slid on the surface, bounced up and fell repeatedly, and was finally cleaved back to the vicinity of the Sea Ghost.

Before Wu Pifu could give chase, the burly, pale-haired man nimbly leaped and ran, bursting into the Sea Ghost. The Sea Ghost didn't even have time to sink before turning and speeding away.

"Hmm? Unaffected by ocean currents?"

Wu Pifu's eyes lit up. Seeing this, he also unleashed his full power, with no intention of holding back any longer.

A plume of energy shot straight into the sky above his head, while his vast martial arts inner force surged and erupted. Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki were activated simultaneously. Except for not conjuring up the little skirt, all of his regular combat power had been activated.

The entire sea instantly calmed down, but countless turbulent currents erupted beneath the surface. Everyone saw Wu Pifu reach out and strike downwards with his palm, instantly creating towering waves. The clouds in the sky didn't just crack open; the entire sky seemed to be shaking violently. The Sea Ghost was actually pulled from the seawater into the air, where it was frozen, unable to move...

On the other side, the admiral on the battleship, who had been holding a smaller wooden box—the real target, the one he had just used to divert attention—looked at the sky and the sea with a deathly pale face, and said dejectedly, "Stop! Everyone, stop all the ships! We...stop!"

He didn't even need to say anything. Any officer with a bit of sense stopped what they were doing. They stared dumbfounded into the distance, not a single thought of escaping left. Some even murmured with their mouths agape, drooling out without daring to wipe it away.

"An existence surpassing even Admirals, Sea Kings, and Island Lords..."

"Celestial Phenomenon Level..."
